Crafting careers since 2020
Started 2020
Your job is to build. Our job is to get you hired.
College should be about learning and growing. Not navigating the hiring maze. We handle that part.
THE PROBLEM
COVID hit in 2020. Job market crashed. LinkedIn messages asking for referrals increased 5x.
The pattern was clear. Students knew how to code. They had skills. They could build. But they didn't know how to get hired.
Tier-2 and tier-3 colleges. Non-CS backgrounds. Self-taught developers. All hitting the same wall. Not a skills problem. A hiring problem.
Traditional hiring filters out talent. CGPA cutoffs. Aptitude tests. Resume screeners. Designed for pedigree, not ability.
THE SOLUTION
Started an experiment. Online job challenge. Build 5 real projects. We pitch you to companies actively hiring.
First batch: 50+ students. Most got jobs within 3 months.
The insight: students don't need more courses. They need someone handling the hiring maze while they focus on building.
Scaled it. Systemized it. Built cactro.
HOW IT WORKS
Build Real Projects — 5 portfolio-ready applications. Production quality. GitHub repos that matter. Focus on your craft while we handle the rest.
Direct Company Access — No job boards. No resume black holes. We pitch you directly to hiring managers at 300+ companies.
Skill-Based Matching — Companies evaluate you on what you can build. Not CGPA. Not college name. Your work speaks.
Career Guidance — Interview prep. Resume reviews. Salary negotiations. Technical interview practice. The full pipeline.
THE RESULTS
Thousands placed since 2020.
Amazon. Razorpay. Flipkart. Meesho. Zomato. Swiggy. Funded startups.
Average package: 5-12 LPA.
Timeline: 3-6 months from start to offer.
THE PHILOSOPHY
Your resilience, not your privilege, defines success.
We match students with companies based on skills and potential. Not credentials. Not college brands.
The right first job changes everything. It's not just about getting hired. It's about starting somewhere you can grow.
